Going ibiza in first week in june. Is it worth getting a moped/quad to see the sights secluded beaches etc or is there a high likelyhood i will die or be ripped off.
 
I'd recommend it for Formentera, not so in Ibiza as personally I think it's just too dangerous on those roads.
 
What she said

Hire a car if you want to explore Ibiza.

Huge white dressings across the shoulder and down one leg is not a good look...
 
well worth it

i went last year for the first time but my mates had been a few times before and they suggested we get the mopeds as they did the year before. belive you me it was well worth it. no traffic no time wasting easy parking (just put it anywhere)
 
I only recommend it if you are an experienced bike driver.
The roads are very busy and there's lots of distracted tourists who are not sure where are they going and who are not the best friends for a bike.
The asphalt is very sliding and most moppeds to rent have small wheels which makes still easier to fell dwon

A mopped it's not a bicicle, if you are not experienced it can be very dangerous

I must agree with this. As i said before we got one last year and as good as it was and as fun as it was. I did manage to fall of it twice on 10min after hireing it and the second as me and my mate thoiugh we would be smart and go off road (never again) i almost went over a cliff edge. but regardless to that is you can, YOU SHOULD as it is WICKED to get about on.

but if you do please be verry carefull and dont go off road like we did.

if you are only 20,you can't have a car in ibiza...you need to be 21 to rent a car...

hire it with someone who is 21. seriously, heard wayyyyyy too many horror stories to say otherwise. hiring mopeds is a bad idea. if you must explore and cant find a way of getting a car, explore by boat and bus.
 
I've ridden motorbikes all over the world but I wouldn't ride one here. The roads have a really poor biking surface and the drivers here are some of the worst that I have ever come across and that's before the tourists arrive!
 
I had a car last year and it was so frustrating... much harder getting anywhere in a car when there's traffic. And then there's the parking problem.

Mopeds are fine if you're used to a motorbike.
 
Just got home after helping a couple who had fallen off their moped, they were doing around 20mph, hit a pothole and they were straight off, he has a broken arm and she can no longer be considered pretty (unless you go for smashed up faces) their holday is effectively over which is a shame as they only arrived yesterday. It's the fifth that I have seen on the island this week and it's only Wednesday.
